1. As more companies are expanding their
business to include the foreign market,
international conferences are becoming a
common practice.

2. However, many of these
conferences take place over
the phone. It’s not practical to
travel to the country you’re
conducting business with
every time you need to have a
meeting, especially when
telephone conferences are so
convenient, less expensive
and very efficient.
Modern technology has made
it possible to use telephones
and computers to hold these
meetings in a professional
manner but it’s up to you to
make sure you have
everything in order before
setting up meetings. This
includes having the right
interpreter for the job.

3. You’ll Need Professional Telephone Interpreters
 Holding telephone conferences is a great way to
discuss important business and keep your clients
updated on all the latest developments. However,
it’s vital for your business that you use the same
professionalism during these phone conferences
that you would if you were meeting in person. This
is why you need someone with experience to
interpret for you.
 Just because someone in your office speaks the
same language as your clients, it doesn’t mean
they’re qualified to fill the role of interpreter. You
need someone who understands the culture and
who can interpret the meaning of your message,
not just the words. You need the confidence a
professional telephone interpreter portrays to help
build a good, positive reputation for your company.

4. Here at Lighthouse Translations we
offer telephonic interpreting services that
you can depend on to get your message
across in a clear and professional manner.
You can rest assured that all interpretations
will be accurate and all interpreters are
friendly, dependable and
knowledgeable. Give us a call to learn more
about the interpretation and translation
services we offer.
 Tips for Working with Telephone
Interpreters
When working with a telephone interpreter,
there are a few things that you can do to
ensure the conference goes smoothly. First,
you will need to introduce the interpreter or
he will need to introduce himself using his
first name and usually an ID number. This
way, everyone is aware that an interpreter is
present and it will ensure all speakers
follow the guidelines associated with this
type of service throughout the meeting.

5. Here are a few basic tips to follow when working with a telephone
interpreter:
• Speak in first person at all times
• Be concise and to the point
• Use short sentences and give the interpreter time to relay the
message
• Never ask the interpreter for his opinion, he is only there to
interpret the messages
• Listen to and answer any questions the interpreter has to ensure he
fully understands the message you want conveyed
• Be prepared to take a break if the conference is lasting longer than
about twenty minutes to allow the interpreter time to rest
Companies hold many international conferences using phone and
Internet services due to the convenience factor. However, you need a
professional interpreter to ensure you’re providing your clients with
the best service possible. Remember, these clients expect and deserve
the same respect and professionalism that you would show when
holding a conference in person.
